Declaration
film director
“I wanted to portray those moments during which a character has to face a moral struggle, trapped between conscience, family, and dreams. There have been many times where I felt stuck amongst difficult decisions I had to make, when one is forced to think from many different perspectives in a very short time, and gets so frustrated that it seems as if there is nothing more comforting than shouting into a well.”
